Noting the previous replies I've been getting about my frame inquiries, it was recommended that I select one with TA. Does that mean I'd have to get a QR and a TA hub if I got a QR fork?

hmm....CMIIW but they're not exclusive. TA hubs used to be limited to the 20mm DH hubs which uses tools before you can disassemble the wheels. A few years back Shimano and Fox came up with a 15mm TA which is QR as well. I think even RockShox's Maxle is QR and also a TA. I guess it's more of a question of...which hub with a conversion kit will you get? P.S. There was a time you could buy front hubs only instead of a pair.

Hubs with conversion kits... They sound like they won't be cheap.

Just ask your bike shop about it. The above mentioned hubs also come with adapters for both sram and shimano which means you can already buy the hubs before you decide on which drivetrain you will get. I have to warn you on the price though. If you decide to go boost spacing on the frame, the hub choices will be more on the pricey side the cheapest on the list above is Hope at about 16k. Novatec is about 5k but it's hard to find it in boost. I've been looking for novatec for my boost frame but have been unable to find.

they're an integral part of the safety and robustness of your bike. there are decent cheapp hubs naman in PH ah. i say go for 15TA hubs (front) and 12TA hubs (rear) for non boost.

Okay it's going to be Novatec then(price conscious person here . Maybe I can get a boost frame and then just get the boost wheelset when the need arises, just to be "boost-ready" anytime... The Sandugo Brusko has a size 15" frame (I'm 5'3") but I don't think I can get the frame alone. I don't like the rigid frame it comes with. This is probably the main reason why I feel like staying here more than I do in the FB page. I've learned more in a few days than my months of browsing through the FB posts. 90% of the people there are the 'tunog mayaman', 'tunog negosyante', 'tunog may kaya', 'tunog bilyonaryo' types who are all for show when talking about hubs. It's actually here where I knew that hubs have adapters and conversion kits, and TAs have sizes. Thanks guys, I love you (no homo) I promise to join your rides when my bike is complete, even if I'm from Valenzuela. Ha ha ha

If you get a boost frame you need boost hubs. If you are on a budget, then just get the 12/142 hubs. Boost frames would be more expensive anyway.

This is noted. Anything else? Recommended brands, etc?
